...(Marion Ross) has been (littering) alot lately while sitting on that Park Bench at Broadway and Water st...She's been leaving behind Garbage from Taco 🌮 Bell and McDonald's almost Every day Now...!!🙉🍔🍟🌮🙈
We celebrated with the children in the community urinating on the graves of dead cops on Memorial Day.to teach them contempt for law enforcement. It's an annual event with popcorn, candy, and Coca Cola.
🚮 201 Broadway Ave N was a terrible mess this morning. Please make sure litter is disposed of properly so the "North Lot" is a place all can enjoy.

Yes. I live a couple blocks away and they are a loud group. Noise ordinance needs to get enforced
It's been an issue all winter. Garbage, loud cars, groups hanging out being loud and saying disrespectful things to people going to their cars. I've seen it every time I park there in the evening. There are people intimidated to park there because of this behavior.
Glad I don't even know where this is.
Put a damn camera or two up there jeez
Have their been any teenagers wiff Golf ⛳️ Clubs hanging out down there lately...??🤔⛳️💥⛳️😸
I think kids hanging out in this lot and causing trouble has been sort of an ongoing problem. When I worked downtown there always seemed to be some sort of mischief going on.
Harry LaCore Marion Ross Street. Above Kiddie splash pad area off of Fountain Ave and Washington Ave.
I moved here March 1st and that parking lot is a noisey hangout for seems like mostly guys in diesel trucks who like to call each other names and talk smack to each other over intercoms or loud speakers. That was before spring. Now they like to drive in their own organized diesel parades in their loud trucks and burn rubber. It's a nuisance spot that only once in 3 months have I seen police patrol the area and observe. The litter is blowing around the entire neighborhood. So far this is my only problem with Albert Lea. Otherwise, respectful, friendly, kind and clean with beautiful scenery.

Freeborn County is under a burn ban due to air quality effective immediately and expires tomorrow at 7 a.m. unless air quality remains low. Recreational fires are allowed within regulation.
Albert Lea Fire Rescue was dispatched to the report of large fire in the area of South Broadway and Seventh Avenues at 12:18 a.m. this morning. It was determined the actual address was 1316 S Broadway.
Upon arrival, fire crews found the garage behind the house was on fire and spreading to the back of the house. Fire crews made entry into the home to search for any occupants and found none. It was later determined the owner was out of town at the time of the fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation with damages estimated at $10,000. One firefighter was treated for a minor injury.
Albert Lea Police Department and Mayo Clinic Ambulance Service also responded to the fire.
Latest update wee.so/e1oc7
One of the most common safety concerns we find when we do rental inspections is with smoke detectors. These same guidelines apply to owned homes, too, so it’s a good idea to see if yours are ready in case of an emergency.
Oftentimes they are installed in the wrong place, batteries have been removed or they are expired.
Smoke detectors should be installed no closer than 4 inches to the ceiling. If they are inside that area, there is a chance that they will not alarm in the event of a fire. Although the ideal mounting place is the center of the ceiling, we find that many people install them on the walls so they’re easier to reach to replace the batteries. If you do, make sure they are lower than that 4 inches, but no lower than 12 inches so that they can function as intended.
A constant beep from a smoke detector is a good indicator the detector needs a new battery or is expired. To prevent that annoying beep and to keep smoke detectors in good working order and ready for an emergency, it’s ideal to change out your batteries every six months or as we like to remember – at Daylight savings time.
One last note on smoke detectors for today. Remember that if they are a detector for smoke and carbon monoxide they are only good for seven years. If they are solely a smoke detector they are good for 10 years. There is a misconception about the expiration, though. Make sure you reference the date on the back of the detector and not the day you bought it. Who knows how long it has been on a store shelf.
